What do you think about this tradition? Do you find it strange? Or you love it?
- Some people think that they would prefer to go without it. They don’t want gifts or money or anything like that. Knowing that they are appreciated and that they can make others happy is good enough for them.
- Some people find this holiday definitely irritating. It’s too commercial in their opinion.
- Others don't agree with them. They think that the main idea of the holiday is to spread love and happiness around them is great!

I think that Valentine's Day is fun and romantic.beloved ones can give gifts and flowers. On this day, postcards are given, poems are read. I love this holiday because my dad gives my mom flowers and she is happy. I also love this holiday because my boyfriend gives me a candy in the shape of a heart and reads me poems.  I love to be gifted (to be given gifts). Girls and guys are happy to be together on this day. I think all people like to receive gifts.

In my opinion Valentine's Day is  so commercial holiday (или a commercial holiday) . If people love their lovers this holiday will not be something special for them. Every day for them with his people is a holiday (with their lovers, nearest and dearest next to them). I would  prefer to go without this holiday. but if you don't agree with my opinion, this holiday can be first of all subject a way to take opportunity of the day to say tell his your lovers about your love.
Great idea! I haven't even thought about the commercial side of the holiday!

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand this holiday  is a great opportunity to wish ‘’Happy Valentine’s Day’’ to anyone you love-your father,  mother, teachers, siblings and friends. The idea is to give love to each other. On this day people also send cards and have a romantic dinner.St. Valentine’s Day is a good day to spend time with the ones you love. But on the other hand  St. Valentine’s Day  is an unnecessary holiday, because if you really care about somebody , you shouldn’t show your love only on this day, you should show your love  everyday. 
It's a good idea to express and compare different poins of view. Thank you.
But you haven't used new phrases. Be attentive. Try not to repeat the same words.

From my point of view St Valentine's Day is a  celebration of love, friendship, and profound (не изучали) respect. As for me it is the most romantic day of the year, when love is in the air. It is cool, that people show their love to each other by giving gifts and cards and by having a romantic dinner, It makes people happy. But I  have  one question: Why are lovely cards it sent only on St Valentine's Day? So I also think, that people should  show their love everyday, not just once a year. If it is about sharing love , I just don't understand why we share it on this day especially? I think that love for relatives or love from friend to friend between friends should  last forever, instead of expressing love  only on this day. So I'm indifferent to Valentine's Day. I believe it's okay that people attach (не изучали) a special meaning 
a) attach  обычно используется как прикреплять в физическом смысле материальные предметы к чему-то, поэтому к  "meaning"  этот глагол не подходит,
b) может быть в смысле "причислить кого к какой-то группе", например 
 "attach yourself to sb/sth to this day", опять же в смыле "примыкать")
c) может быть в смысле "придавать значение",  тогда используют associate with,  attach importance. 
возможно, лучше было бы сказать We associate it with, it is  commonly associated with
we also do it (do в смысле заниматься чем-то???, например, "to do sports") on birthdays, anniversaries and other holidays, So I don't think that love should be shown only on Valentine's Day.
Есть несколько замечаний, прими их к сведению на будущее. 
В связи с тем, что ты употребляешь неизученные в школе фразы:
1. они непонятны одноклассникам, а ты именно с ними общаешься на форуме;
2. может возникнуть мысль, что ты списала их из Интернет, если нет, то
3. перевела свою русскую речь в Гугл переводчике, тем более, что в итоговом тексте есть мелкие ошибки, а ты их не заметила.
4. Ты не выделяешь использованные тобой речевые фразы данного параграфа учебника. Не забудь это сделать следующий раз. Будь внимательнее.

I agree that the main idea of the holiday is to spread love and happiness around us. I think Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity for people who can’t say about their
feelings in life ( express their emotions freely), so they can write about them on paper. I think it’s easier. There is a tradition at our school on the Valentine’s Day that  everyone (who wants) may brings Valentine’s cards to the first (ground? первый?) floor of the school. Then three pupils take out all this these cards and “deliver” them to the addressee during the lessons. I like this tradition! Valentine’s Day is a holiday full of love, joy and happiness.
Thank you very much for your post! That't a great idea! We'll follow your custom at our school this year (Rechitsa, school №7).

I disagree with Gaponenko Tanya's opinion. I think St. Valentine's Day is a holiday for adult people (adults), who (has have love) have fallen in love (тем более надо было так сказать, поскольку такая фраза предлагалась в тексте). This day is a good opportunity for them those who can't say about emotions. We, pupils, can say about our feelings, give presents and cards to parents, friends, siblings, classmates every day. Because of this fact  (That is why, For this reason) I think that St. Valentine Day is not the best holiday for me.

I think that Valentine's Day is a holiday that has a lot of colours (sides). I also think to spread love and happines around me (only you?) is great.
 And 
thei t's t ruth is this holiday is full of love and happiness. But in my opinion this holiday is not for all people. If you think right now is turned into    It reminds a competition. People are compete in the number of valentines they have received. This is not right. I don't want to say that my opinion is important. But I am sad that the holiday of love is turns into a competition. 
Thank you for your idea about the competition. It hasn't discussed yet. But you have used so few statements from the text. It's a pity.

Frankly speaking, I agree with all of your opinions about St. Valentine’s Day and I
think that you are absolutely right, but I can’t say that I love it or hate it.
I think that my attitude to it is neutral. On the one hand St. Valentine’s Day
is a great opportunity to show your feelings to your lover, give presents and
cards to each other. It’s especially nice when they are handmade. It will be a
lovely gift and it will save your money. It’s cool that now people can wish ''Happy Valentine's Day'' to anyone they love – their father, mother, siblings
and friends, because the main idea of this holiday is to give love and spread
happiness around us.
But on the other hand this holiday is very sad for adults
who don’t have boyfriends/girlfriends. They are very upset and envious of
people who are in love. I’m sure that everything will be fine with them and they will meet their beloved

Masha,  thank for your idea about handmade gifts.
